🌍 A payment from Addis Ababa to Lagos in 120 seconds, in African currencies, without going through New York. Ethiopia has just joined the network that promises to make it possible.
📌 The facts
• Oct. 15: The National Bank of Ethiopia announces that it has joined PAPSS, the pan-African payment system launched in 2022 by Afreximbank, the African Union and the AfCFTA
• PAPSS already connects 29 countries and more than 190 banks and fintechs (FinTech Futures, Oct. 19)
• Stated goal: settlement in under 120 seconds, averaging around 7 seconds, 24/7
• Mobile wallets (telebirr, M-Pesa) are preparing to connect through EthSwitch, subject to prior approval from the central bank
• Addis Ababa will host the COWRY conference on Nov. 26–27, with stablecoins and digital assets on the agenda
🧠 How it works
Today, a payment between two African countries often goes through a bank in Europe or the United States, with two currency conversions into dollars. PAPSS settles payments directly between African banks, in local currencies. A stablecoin like $USDT is just as fast, but everything remains in dollars.
👤 Selam (a fictional character) roasts coffee in Addis Ababa and sells it to a hotel in Nairobi. If her bank or mobile wallet connects, she could be paid in birr without going through the dollar.
⚖️ The caveat
• Joining ≠ service available: each bank and wallet still has to connect
• The 92–95% fee savings are an estimate made by PAPSS itself
• Ethiopian foreign exchange rules still apply
✅ Two options are emerging for payments between Africans: central bank rails and stablecoins.
Which would you choose to get paid? 👇

📈 Stablecoins are no longer multiplying… but they’re circulating much more. Payments rose 45% in 9 months, while the amount in circulation barely changed.
📌 The facts (Allium Q3 2026 report, Oct. 15; CoinDesk, Oct. 18)
• Stablecoin payments: 482 bn$ from January to September 2026, up 45% year over year
• Total supply: 305 bn$ at the end of September, up just 0.4% since January
• 1.04 billion payments (+71%). Average payment: 462 $ versus $544
• Tron settled two-thirds of the value, and $USDT accounted for 84%
• Stablecoin cards: $3.9 bn$ spent, 10x more than a year ago
🧠 How it works
A stablecoin is a “digital dollar”: 1 token ≈ $1, backed by reserves. Imagine 100 bills in a neighborhood: no one prints any new ones, but they change hands much more often. The same digital dollars are used more frequently, for smaller amounts, making them more part of everyday life.
⚖️ The caveats
• Out of 97,900 bn$ in gross transfers, Allium counts only 2.5% as genuine user activity (excluding exchanges, DeFi, and bots)
• Stablecoin cards still account for just 0.03% of Visa’s volume
• It’s not a guaranteed bank account: everything depends on the issuer’s reserves. And there are fees to convert your local currency into a stablecoin, and back again
👤 Ousmane, a phone repair technician in Kankan, orders his screens from abroad. Bank transfers take days. With stablecoins, he can pay in minutes, even on a Sunday. His rules of thumb: calculate fees in Guinean francs, choose a low-cost network, and check the address twice (a mistake can’t be undone).
✅ The real signal: more use, not more tokens.
Have you ever paid or been paid in stablecoins for a real purchase (not trading)? 👇

💳 Pay at the market with stablecoins, without having to “sell them first”? Coinbase and Marqeta want to make that commonplace.
📌 The facts (announcement on Oct. 16, 2026)
• Marqeta, which makes and manages payment cards for other companies, is teaming up with Coinbase on “stablecoin-backed” cards
• Marqeta processed nearly 400 billion $ payments in 2025 and operates in more than 40 countries
• The two already work together: Marqeta has powered the Coinbase card in the U.S. since 2020
🧠 How it works
• Coinbase holds the stablecoins and converts them into regular currency when you pay
• Base, Coinbase’s blockchain, is used for settlement between companies, 24/7
• Marqeta issues the card and manages relationships with banks and card networks
• The merchant receives a regular card payment. They don’t have to change anything
⚖️ The caveats
• This is for Marqeta’s business customers, not a card you can apply for tomorrow
• No launch date, fees, or list of supported stablecoins have been announced
• Your stablecoins are held by a custodian (Coinbase): this isn’t a bank account with deposit protection
• Every payment involves a conversion: check the exchange rate and fees
👤 Awa, a graphic designer in Cotonou, is paid in digital dollars by a client in Paris. Today, she has to sell them, wait, and then pay. With this kind of card, the “sell” step would happen behind the scenes when she pays.
✅ What matters to her: the rate applied to each purchase, and who holds her funds.
Would you pay for your groceries with a stablecoin card? 👇

Here’s how it works, what’s already in place, and what remains to be proven.

Mastercard puts euros and digital dollars in the same account: what this could change about getting paid in AfricaYou work with clients abroad, sell online, or receive money from family? On October 15, 2026, Mastercard launched a platform with BVNK (the stablecoin company it acquired in August) that puts traditional money and digital dollars in the same account. It’s not an app you’ll be downloading tomorrow. But it’s the kind of “plumbing” that could change how you get paid in the coming years.

🌍 Stablecoins cross borders in minutes… but the last mile remains the hardest part. A new deal aims to bridge that gap in Africa.
Halima, a trader in Kano, pays a supplier abroad. The problem isn’t just “sending dollars”: it’s converting, receiving and paying in local currency without losing days or paying hefty fees.
📌 The facts
• October 12, 2026: Velocity (infrastructure connecting institutions and businesses to the blockchain) and CrissCross (payments + foreign exchange in Africa) announce a partnership (The Paypers).
• Velocity is expanding its network to more than 30 additional African markets.
• Plan: combine stablecoins ($USDT, $USDC…), real-time payments and virtual accounts.
• No specific product or timeline has been announced yet.
• Context (Chainalysis, cited by ITWeb): Sub-Saharan Africa received more than $205 billion on-chain between July 2024 and June 2025 (+52% year over year); stablecoins accounted for 43% of the region’s crypto volume.
🧠 How it works
A stablecoin is a token that tracks the dollar. It moves quickly from one country to another. But at the other end, you need a “bridge” to a local bank account or mobile money service: these companies want to connect that bridge (foreign exchange + local payment) directly to global liquidity.
⚖️ The nuance
A partnership ≠ an available service. This is mainly B2B (banks, businesses). For Halima, the impact will be indirect: supplier payments could become faster through her bank or fintech — if local regulators are on board.
👉 For Halima
1. Check the total cost: fees + exchange rate, not just speed.
2. Use a provider regulated in her country.
3. An announcement ≠ a product: wait for the actual launch.
And you: when paying abroad, what’s the biggest hurdle — fees, delays or access to dollars? 👇
Not financial advice. DYOR.

Citi x Coinbase: stablecoin payments without merchant custodyCiti and Coinbase are expanding their partnership (announced Sept. 28, 2026) to connect fiat and stablecoin payments without forcing businesses to manage two systems. The core idea isn’t “a bank does crypto.” It’s a rails model: the bank remains the settlement bank, while the exchange handles on-chain conversion — merchants can accept a stablecoin without ever holding it.
📋 What’s being announced (Citi / Business Wire press release)
• Two parts. 1) Coinbase virtual accounts powered by Citi’s Virtual Account Wallet (Banking-as-a-Service): accept, hold, pay — incoming fiat is automatically converted into a stablecoin (described as a first of its kind). 2) Spring by Citi: institutional clients accept stablecoin payments at checkout; Coinbase converts them into fiat; Citi settles as the bank of record.
